Ha!You Need a Couch? Dis Guy's Got it Fa YouzForgetting to turn the caps lock off, Jerks in Your Area has another amusing post from this guy: YO THIS SHIT IS THE BOMB IST A FUCKING DOPE ASS MATTRISS N THIS SHIT IS MAD COMTFORABLE! Hair gel, the club Hunka Bunka (kid above for reference) and terrible grammar seem to be a plus. Your Contextual Ad Flub of the Day
It seems there isn't a day (or hour) that goes by where we don't see the genius of contextual marketing at work. This latest faux pas was discovered by Make the Logo Bigger on ChicagoTribune.com. Not only do we see a priceless BP banner atop an article about the company's environmentally unsound practices, but to the right there's one stating the obvious which is more than fittingly placed. Bravo. More: "PC Richards Tops Quaker for Unfortunate Ad Placement" Vodka Brand Needs Better PR Flack/Editor/Proofreader
He's got all the best intentions it seems, donating all profits from his booze brand to veteran relief programs, but war hero and Joka Vodka founder Joseph Nedlin definitely needs some help when it comes to penning a press release. His email pitch about his Colorado-based beverage, which is named after his handle in Vietnam, has been making the rounds in the blogsphere and landed in our laps this morning. It reads verbatim: "Name: Joseph Nedlin Paritotism is sexy to many women and men alike. Joka Vodka gives all its profits to support American Veterans with three high end vodkas. This new vodka has taken over where other vodkas leave off. Its smooth, taste is light and refined and started in Aspen, Colorado. It is available on in Colorado, California and Texas. Yes, we know we're prone to the occasional grammar/spelling flubs as well, so don't get all fussy...but this is still worth a chuckle nonetheless.

Macy's Jumps the Gun with World Series Coronation
Deadspin offers up this little Monday gem, a full-page Macy's ad for Phillies championship gear that's apparently running in Philly newspapers today. Perhaps they didn't check the score or are just being very optimistic. But if it doesn't work out the way the clothing chain planned, at least kids in Nicaragua have some fresh attire to go along with their "Patriots 19-0" shirts.

DUMBO-based new media marketing firm Carrot Creative gets in the gore-filled spirit of Halloween with this little ode to the death of print (specifically Blender, Men's Vogue, etc.) and its knife-wielding maker. Keep them submissions coming to agencyspy at gmail dot com.

Copy like "iDon't need a Droid...unless it's R2D2" and "iCame First" just about says it all. Via Mashable Church of Latter Day Saints Ad Employs Tranny-playing Actor
Phil Vantee plays what they call a "man with teats" (pictured) on Comedy Central's Reno 911, and now he's in an ad for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. FishbowlLA made the connection after seeing this commercial, and the church's Web site. Vantee is a comedian, banjo player, magician and actor ("cult favorite" says fishbowl's Tina Dupuy), who was asked to say what he thought on camera. So he did, and he got $500 for it (day rates rule). Said Vantee when asked how he felt about playing a the "man with teats" and then "himself" in a spot for a religious group who may or may not agree with such a lifestyle choice, even though he was only faking (The Mormons): "Since my main focus is feeding myself and my wife, I'm real open-minded." Right back at'cha Vantee. Please see our video, up and to the right. Via FishbowlLA More: "Converse Vs. Complacency" "Ho White" Beer Ad Peeves Disney
We're not sure how an Aussie beer brand beat Vivid Entertainment to the punch with the title "Ho White," but an ad for Jamieson's Raspberry Ale nevertheless depicts a Snow White type blowing smoke rings while lying in bed with seven nekkid dwarves named Filthy, Smarmy, Randy, etc. Disney, which licenses the Snow White character, wasn't basking in the heroine's afterglow though and is apparently ticked off with ad agency The Foundry, the campaign's creators who say the goal was to convince Australian drinkers that the fruit-flavoured beer was "anything but sweet". But Disney may have already put words into action because according to the Telegraph, copyright infringement issues likely caused the campaign site Anythingbutsweet.com to be shut down and links to be disabled. Via BoingBoing More: "Smoking: So Gay (Not Really)" Smoking: So Gay (Not Really)The Onion News Network brings you yet another hard-hitting story about the attempts being made to prevent teens from smoking. The latest campaign highlights (wink) that smoking is gay, and teens don't want to be thought of as such. The end.
